I love this book, much more than I thought I would when it was announced but I still don't understand why they had to break Scott and Emma up.

Aside from that, as much as Bendis tried to tease otherwise, we pretty much always knew that the Stepford Cuckoos were a given to join Scott's team. I am intrigued by the idea of young Warren joining the Uncanny X-Men but I'm dying to know what type of ramifications this will have on the time stream, if any. Also, why did nobody else join Scott's team? Out of the entirety of the Jean Grey School only 4 students decided to sign up?

Everybody lies!

Would you? Scott's an A1 nutball. Being around him will only get you arrested or killed. I'd stay away from him if I could.

This issue serves as almost a deleted scenes of last week’s issue of All-New X-Men. We see the same conversation between Cyclops and the staff of the Jean Grey School, but at the same time, we see the psychic conversation that Emma Frost is having with the Stepford Cuckoos, and how she manages to convince them to join her side. This was not only interesting, but it managed to delay the shock revelation about which member of the original team joins Cyclops’ side to the end of this issue. As for that member, it’s not who I thought it would be, it’s original Angel! I was so sure that it would be Jean Grey, but this is cool too, he’s been the member of the OG X-Men that has been the most uncomfortable with what’s been going on, and here’s me theorising, what with Jean fiddling with his brain a few issues ago, there’s the possibility that he’s there under her direction. I’m seeing OG Jean being the overall villain of this story somehow, like she becomes Phoenix or something.

Maybe I’m crazy.

Either way, Angel being on Cyclops’ side is very cool indeed. Along with these exciting developments, there’s also some good character stuff with the new recruits, which is a lot of fun. These characters are all brand-new, and Bachalo draws them differently from Immonen, so it was useful to get a more focused look at each of their personalities and powers. I thought the scene between Tempus and the shape-changer was very well-done, how he changed very subtly. But wait, there’s more! Something’s up with Magik, she warps to Limbo and back for no real reason, it’s weird. She’s been the character that’s seemed least fucked-up by the Phoenix so far, but obviously, that’s not the reality. Bendis’ X-Men continues to just excellent comics, he’s rejuvenated, and so is the franchise.

Now that you mention it, she is basically holding the rest of the original X-Men hostage in the future. Plus, she is well on her way to joining the Illuminati if she continues mind-wiping people or mentally bending them to her will.

Sadly I gotta say that All New and Uncanny X-Me are probably my two favorite books from Marvel right now. I say sadly because I really didn't want to get so into any X-Men title again but they are really really good reads right now.

They are incredible. It's like the antithesis of everything else Bendis has ever done (and I'm not a hater, I like his other stuff). It's very much Claremont style storytelling, imo.
